Location Invalid

https://codeday.org tells me closest event is Kansas City when it's Nashville.

http://www.whatismyip.com/ reports my correct location in Tennessee.

Same, I'm near san francisco and it's telling me my closest event is in Kansas City too

[tejasmanohar]

Yeah, saw some other people post about this on FB

It's kinda strange that is happening like this one. I'm in Houston but redirects me to Miami. @tylermenezes?

[pixelyunicorn]

I'm in Philly with Xfinity and CodeDay thinks that I'm in Kansas City. :+1:

[tylermenezes]

Wait, @rodrigoargumedo, is it actually redirecting you, or just telling you the nearest event is somewhere else?

I can't do much about the nearest event being inaccurate unfortunately; it's using an IP geolocation database but it's occasionally inaccurate. I'll try switching to a different one but I don't know that it'll make a huge difference.

[rodrigoargumedo]

It's telling me by nearest location. It's really weird btw.

@LabLayers @rodrigoargumedo @tejasmanohar @AndrewSB I switched to a different (aka more expensive) data provider. Let me know if that improves your results.

[pixelyunicorn]

Can confirm, it works!

[tejasmanohar]

Yup. Resolved.
